A Brief History of Sacred Ground at St. Luke's

In the fall of 2021, twelve members from the congregation of St. Luke in the Fields engaged in the discussion series called Sacred Ground and concluded it in the late spring of 2022. All members of this discussion circle were adamant that the time they spent in these discussions was invaluable for their spiritual development. Some went so far as to say that this program was the most important work to which they had ever engaged.

Given the importance of the work, St. Luke’s continues to support Sacred Ground and has created a second discussion circle.
